Ok, all you compliance gurus out there, I feel I should know this, but honestly don't know where to start.
I've recently been hearing that we are not to make copies of any checks that come in, ins or personal. Not sure why, but it seems to be a big compliance deal that "everybody knows", but it's news to me.
Same thing for credit cards. We have some patients that give us their cc info, and sign authorization that we can take monthly payments from it. I was told that we aren't allowed to keep this info on file, and that we have to call the patient each month and get their approval again and again.
Neither of these make sense to me, but it seems that these both are BIG NO-NO's that could get us in deep trouble. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
